SHADE-ROLLER FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 13, 1914.

Application filed April 21, 1913. Serial No. 762,730.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Jon FARRO, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Springfield, in the county of Sangamon and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shade-Roller Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

()ne object of this invention is to provide an adjustable supporting bracket for shade rollers in which all the advantages of adjustability are afforded and wherein the means providing for adjustment are all substantially concealed so as not to detract from the exterior appearance of the bracket.

The preferred embodiment of my invention is hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view through the bracket attaching plate and showing the slidable member in elevation. Fig. 3 is an end view of the slidable member and part of the bracket. Fig. 4t is an end view of the parts of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a shade roller or the like which is removably supported by brackets 2, one on each end thereof. The brackets 2 are provided with suitable arms 3 which support a pole 1 to which may be attached a lace curtain or the like. Each bracket 2 is similar and in describing the same only one will be referred to. The bracket has a plate 5 through which may be passed screws 6 or the like which secure the bracket to a window frame, as is usual.

The numeral 7 designates a slidable holder which is provided with a plate 8 movable on one face of the plate 5, and has a stem 9 projecting into the plate 5 to the end of n hich is attached a head or knob 10 which moves in an elongated slot 11 provided in the plate 5. ()n the plate 8 is a flat spring 12 having a downwardly projecting end 13 adapted to engage notches let in the plate 5.

A notch or socket 15 is provided in the holder 7 to receive a pin 16 of the shade holder 1.

Shade holders usually have a pin at one end that is round in cross section and a pin at the opposite end that is square or rectangular. In order to support the socket 15 one of the brackets is round and the socket of the opposite holder is square or rectangular.

By means of the adjustable holders at each end of the shade roller, the roller may be detached at each end.

To detach the shade roller the slidable holder 7 is moved over the plate 5 and the stem 9 and head 10 thereof guide the same in such movement. The holder is maintained in several adjusted positions by means of the engagement of the end 13 of spring 12 with the notches 14: of the plate 5.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is In a shade roller supporting means, a bracket structure comprising a mount plate having substantially flat opposite faces and adapted to be secured to a support with one face in flat abutting relation therewith, said plate mount having an interior undercut slot provided with a narrower portion opening at the exposed face of the plate mount and a wider portion interiorly of the narrower portion, a bracket having a headed stud with the head engaging the wider portion and a shank projecting through the narrower portion and a base plate substantially covering said narrower portion, said bracket having an outstanding portion for supporting one end of the shade roller, and coacting devices comprising a spring on the bracket and notches on the mount plate for holding the former in adjusted positions on the latter, substantially as described.
